‘Jumper’ by Bertjan Pot is a chair upholstered with a knitted woolen cover. The cover was knitted on a special machine that knitted the whole piece in one go. Normally a knitted woolen cover would not make it through an abrasion test very well, but because we felted the cover by washing it at a high temperature the textile became very dense and durable.
‘Jumper’ was designed for the British brand Established & Sons and was on show in their 2010 presentation in Milan. It should go into production later this year.

Energy AWARE Clock is wirelessly connected to an energy meter.’
